Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 257

“Yeah, the president’s assistant called our office personally. When he told us this, he sounded especially sincere. He even left his number with me, and said that you could contact him directly if you were interested,” said the voice on the other end.

“Right, they also said that you can think of their investment capital as a loan. There’s no need for shares or bonuses. Once we make money, we just have to return it with a little bit of interest,” she added.

Jeremy, Xyla, Bailey, and Tony were all utterly shocked.

Why was the Quest Group receiving such a windfall? The Dragon group only wanted to invest, without expecting any shares or bonuses in return. Their interest rates were even similar to a bank’s. Were they doing charity? Why was something like this happening to the Quest Group?

“Send his number to my WeChat. I’ll contact him in a bit,” said Jeremy.

“Understood.”

After that, Jeremy simply hung up. Happiness had arrived so suddenly. Right now, everything felt surreal, like this was all a dream.

The Dragon Group!

Oh, the Dragon Group!

An elite existence that none can easily attain!

Secretly pinching himself and realizing it hurt, he finally believed that this was real.

After this phone call, he instantly felt empowered. He glared at Bailey and Tony. “I’ll have the cheque prepared and delivered to you guys later. I will return your eight billion dollars, not a penny less.”

Tony’s expression immediately mellowed. “There’s no need. I think let’s just leave it at this.”

Bailey said nothing as well and started smiling at them.

Seeing the blatant difference in attitude from the older couple, Xyla’s lips instantly curved up slightly. Humans are truly realistic.

How could she be oblivious to their thoughts? Obviously, they thought that the Quest Group would soar with the help of the Dragon Group, and become far superior than the Sullivan Group. Hence, they were suddenly reluctant to offend them. This sudden change of atmosphere relaxed Xyla even more. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“There is the need… It’s decided that we won’t collaborate, and that’s that…” Jeremy was firm. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going upstairs to rest. Xyla, let’s go. Accompany me up the stairs.”

Having said that, Jeremy held Xyla’s hand and got up to head upstairs. After the father-daughter pair left, Tony and Bailey returned to their car.

Once inside, Bailey looked at Tony, confused. “Honey, what do you think is going on?”

Tony was frowning hard. “How should I know? It’s really baffling.”

Bailey said, “Is the Dragon Group’s president or chairman perhaps acquainted with Jeremy Quest? Why haven’t we heard anything about that before? If they aren’t deeply acquainted, how could the Dragon Group possibly go to such lengths? Have you ever heard of someone investing but asking for no shares in return? Forget the shares, they’re even taking the least amount of interest in accordance with the bank.”

Tony shook his head without the slightest clue. He was extremely envious of Jeremy for coming across such good fortune.

Bailey continued, “I think the Dragon Group meant it when they said that the Quest Group can get as much money as they want. If they get huge funding from the Dragon Group and manage to break through to new heights, then, don’t you think we shouldn’t let our son get a divorce? I think the Quest family will become more outstanding than us in the future.”

Tony frowned. “The divorce will no doubt happen. But our connection with the Quest family shall not end because of this. If Xyla wants to teach Mary a lesson, then let her do it so that she feels better. We won’t get involved anymore. We have to look ahead.”

Bailey nodded, feeling aggrieved.

“I will think of a way to continue this collaboration with them. When Jeremy is no longer angry, I’ll go see him again,” Tony added.
